Joanna and I saw Orphan last night and it did not disappoint. It is a fantastic addition to the evil child subgenre---and a fashionable one at that! The little monster in question is a doll-faced Russian orphan named Esther whose personal style can best be described as Madeline-meets- Anna Karina. Her clothes can easily pass for a number of minimalist cult labels (Lover, United Bamboo, etc.) and she personalizes her look with accessories; favoring berets, bows, and white tights. I can only pray that there will be an equally stylish sequel!
GET THE LOOK!

I usually have a rule about only seeing romantic comedies in theatres but I can't miss this one!
ooohhh i wanted to see that, nice outfit picks! btw is it a remake? i felt like it was when i saw the preview...
Thanks E.K.!
Megan-it's not a remake, just a total cliche. Basically a hybrid of The Bad Seed and The Good Son. So amazing.
awesome, i'll have to check it out!
Her style is also, to quote Tina Fey, " a touch of high school bitchy" ala miss Blair Waldorf. Which I am not complaining about, god help me if I ever find a store that sells multi-tiered white babydolls and velvet chokers in grown-up sizes.
This is Laura F by the way
I love that bracelet with the bow!
